The story revolves around the former King, Azusa, and his former friend and follower, Karino. Azusa is the golden boy, the horrible King who is never nice to anybody but has an awful family life. Karino, the son of a politician, plans to take Azusa's place in their school's hierarchy and become King. Karino eventually succeeds and forces Azusa to make a choice- either become his 'woman' or be gang-raped by the other students. Karino grabs him by the hair and asks “Are you ignoring me or what? Don’t you understand unless I tell you?”. Azusa: “If you wanna do it so badly then go ask Eno!! After all, you’re well-matched.”. Karino surprised “Hah? What’s that dude got to do with it?”. Azusa replies “If you get hit by maggots, you’re gonna rot, you know. I’m saying that maggots always end up mating together……like at the cultural festival”. Karino doesn’t understand and says “Are you still thinking about that cultural festival stuff? Something worthless”. Azusa lowers his head. “I knew it. It’s just a way to kill time for you. I shouldn’t have believed in you from the start.” Warning: spoilers about how the manga ends, but I tried to signal where. Since I have already finished the manga, it's hard to talk about everything without mentioning what actually made me dislike it, which is mostly the end.

This might have seemed like something cute and fluffy at first, but it was anything but. It's even more horrifying than that of Azusa and Karino, if only because it is even more manipulative. It was...creeptastic, to be honest. Caste Heaven“ ist ein interessantes Gedankenkonzept, was in vielerlei Hinsicht gar nicht einmal so abwegig ist, wie viele vielleicht denken. Es ist gesellschaftskritisch. Kritisiert wird hauptsächlich der Umgang der Menschen untereinander. Im Fall der vorliegenden Manga-Reihe die des hierarchischen Systems einer Schulklasse. Mit diesem wird durch das sogenannte „Kastenspiel“ das System regelmäßig neu sortiert und es gelangen Schüler/innen an die Macht und beeinflussen damit das Klassengefüge. All this goes into presenting a world that is removed from reality by a much narrower margin than may at first seem. For this very reason and others, Caste Heaven is not a complete work of fantasy of the sadomasochistic kind in which boys delight in degrading other boys in increasingly sexually abusive manners (although it very much contains elements of that as well) a lá 飼育係・理伙 Shiiku Gakari Rika 1 . Instead, it is an interesting take in the ways roles are assigned by teenagers, how they adapt and/or fight against these and above all how power is a fluctuating commodity that can be shifted from one person to another with surprising ease once the system- and obedience to it- is set.

[10] No. The characters are very typical of any high school manga characters. You’ll find the the eccentric, the calm, the intellectual, … All of them are very charming and you get completely addicted to what will happen to each of them even though they might not be the main characters. Unfortunately, there are so many characters and they have some ressemblances it sometimes is hard to make the distinction between all of them. Well, where to start? This story had a high potential to become something I really enjoy. The concept was great, and the first chapters were very interesting. I was angry, disgusted, and very looking forward to what was to come. Then it started going downhill, and midways it completely crashed and burnt. Oh, first I have to state that I love dark, psychological and twisted stories, so

Als drittes Pärchen tauchen hier Yukari und Yatori auf. Yukari ist naiv, dumm und von Komplexen durchlöchert, die von Yatori nur angeheizt werden. Yatori scheint hier sein eigenes Spiel mit dem kleinen Yukari zu spielen, der das natürlich gar nicht bemerkt, weil ihm sein kleines-Mann-Ego im Wege steht. Doch wie wird das weitergehen? Wird diese Konstellation ebenfalls eine dramatische Wende nehme, wie einige andere davor auch?

After that, it’s Azusa’s turn. The teacher asks him why he failed the test (as he didn’t score any points) and at this rate he’s in danger of flunking out. Azusa nonchalantly replies that he’s not interested in graduating from college. The teacher: “Society is not a piece of cake as you think” and Azusa: “I’d rather die than become an empty person who depends on a title. I won’t rely on anyone. I’ll live only on my own.“ Azusa has no longer hope of relying on anyone, not even on something like a degree because he has completely withdrawn, he doesn’t want anyone’s help to move forward. The teacher tells him to choose at least one of the supplementary classes, for the sake of his parents. This asked some very deep questions, such as 'without my power, am I really this useless, this powerless?' This leads into my next point- why this reminded me of both the Stanford prison experiment and the Milgram experiment.

other than to “entertain” the reader, as long as men are the ones getting raped? (Although how someone could find these scenes entertaining is beyond me.)

Caste Heaven reminded me of that because as soon as the other students were given even the slightest bit of power over Azusa, they immediately began torturing him. They instantly became cruel, even those who had nothing to do with him, and they would do anything that Karino said to do, which leads me to why this reminded me of the Milgram experiment.
